North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham is interested in adding luxury suites to the Smith Center, which opened in 1986.

“We have suites and club seats in football (at Kenan Stadium) that work,” Cunningham told the News & Observer. “But we have an iconic structure here. You have to be careful on how you do that. I think we want to make sure that the fans get the experience they expect when they come to a premier place.”

Cunningham added that discussions for possible renovations to the Smith Center wouldn’t occur until after the season is complete.

“We want a place that’s competitive for the team, number one,” he told the newspaper. “And then a place that accommodates the interest and the needs of the fans.”
